The Star-Spangled Banner.
Ohl say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What co proudly twoat the twilight's taut glealn•
IoR
/
Whose broad stripes and bright stare through the perilous
fight,
O'er the ramparts wo watch'd, were so gallantly stream
ing!
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting In air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag one still there!
Ohl say, does that star-spangled haulier yet own:,
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the bravo?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foes haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the too eying steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half disclosed
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam;
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream—
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Olt, long may it wave,
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the bravo I
And where is that band 'eh° so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war, and the battle's confusion,
A home nod a country should leave us no morn
Their blood Itas wasted out their foul footstep's pollution
No refuge could save the hireling and slave,
Front the terror of flight or the gloom the gravel
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave!
Oh! thus be it over, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and war's desolation!
Blessed with victory and pence, may the lleaven•rescued
land
Praise the Power that bath made and preserved toe a na
tion I
Then conquer we must, when our canoe it is Just,
And this be our m0tt0...." In God is our trust
And the star-spangled banner In tt imp!) shall wave,
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave!
Lettere from the Editor.
CHAMBERSBURO, June 12, '6l
• DEAR " GLOBE :An hour ago I re
turned from a full day's visit to the
several camps. It is now 81 p. m.—
Everything looks more warlike to-day
than on yesterday. And everybody,
in and outside of the army expect or
ders every hour to prepare for a march.
A great many men are here from dif
ferent parts, of the State, for the pur
pose of accompanying the army into
Virginia. We certainly shall not be
behind if this grand wing of the army
shoUld move forward this week. We
are anxious to see, or at least be in
the neighborhood of the battle which
everybody feels certain will soon take
place at Harper's Ferry, but as we
shall be unarmed, we shall take very
good care to keep out of the range of
the enemies' guns. If the enemy
show fight, we know from the feeling
exhibited by our men in every camp,
that the slaughter will have to be very
great on our side before an inch of
ground is yielded by our brave boys.
To-day, a Regiment arrived from
Wisconsin, arid encamped - Tor restlii
Camp McClure. It is considered the
best looking Regiment in this neigh
borhood. Two other Regiments ar
rived from the East and 'passed on
towards Greencastle. Some three or
four companies of regulars also ar
rived said to be, in part, from Minne
sota. Other Regiments are expected
to-night and to-morrow. We outsi
ders have fixed upon Friday as the
day for a general movement. We
may be disappointed, if so, it will not
be the first time. One thing
,is very
certain, every man, so far as we have
been able to ascertain the feeling in
every camp, is anxious to hear the
word—march
We visited Capt. Johnston's compa
ny to-day, and found all the " boys"
in good health and in fine spirits. We
also again visited other companies,
from Blair and Centre counties and
felt at home in the midst of so many
of our friends and fellow-citizens.
We shall " wait for the wagon " a
day or two longer before we can think
of turning our thee homeward.
Yours, &c.,

DEAR GLOBE :—We left Chambers
burg this morning for the purpose of
getting in advance of our army, that
we might see a sight we pray for, a
solid column of thirty-thousand men,
marching under the Stars and Stripes
of the Union. On our way here we
found that the army was scattered in
camps, right and left of the road, with
in eight miles of this place. The train
we came on in also carried with it
large ropes for constructing a fbrry to
enable our army to get over the Po
tomac into Virginia. (Just now a large
party of Union mon arrived heiv from
Martinsburg, Va. They had to escape
or be pressed into the rebel army.—
They are wild with enthusiasm for our
flag.) Gov. Sprague of Rhode Island,
was a passenger as far as Greencastle,
whore his Regiment is encamped, and
a fine one it is. The Governor is quite
a young man,—not more than 25 years
of age. Before we left Chambersburg,
this morning, we visited Camp Mc=
Clare. A. Regiment from Wisconsin,
one from Connecticut, and the Penn
sylvania 11th wore fixing up for a short
stay, and the sight was n;lagnificent.
We have visited several public places
hero to-day, and have conversed with
a number of citizens, and we find there
are not a few secessionists here, but
they are backward in expressing their
sentiments. Business is completely
prostrate—the citizens fearing the de
struction of their property by a colli
sion of the two armies here and in the
neighborhood. Some of them believe
that the rebels are strong enough to
prevent our army advancing into
Vir
ginia—and some think the rebels will
Come this side of the Potomac to at
tack our army. After the advance of
our army to this place and beyond it,
we have no doubt the opinions of many
will be changed.
The election for Congress is going on
in this State to-day. Here, Ex-Gov.
Thomas is the Union candidate, and
the only one, but the vote will be'very
small, as a large number of nien - are
afraid to let the public know where
they belong, whether for or against
the Union.
The Female Seminary here has been
taken possession of for Head-Quarters
by Gen. Patterson, and the fields in
the neighborhood have been selected
for the Canip. Everybody expects to
see the town full of our soldiers to
morrow morning—if they come we
will remain here another ,day, if not,
we will return to Chambersburg in the
morning, bid the " boys" good bye and
return home. Yours,
CHAMBERSBURG, June 14-9 p. m
DEAR GLOBE :-I returned from Ha
gerstown this morning. During last
night three Regiments left this neigh
borhood and encamped six miles this
side of Hagerstown. For miles this
side and beyond Greencastle, the coun
try is thickly dotted with Camps.—
To-night the Ist, 2d, 3d, 14th, 15th,
the Irish Regiment, of Philadelphia,
the Wisconsin and Connecticut Regi
ments, strike their tents and leave for
Hagerstown and neighborhood, where
they will encamp for a day or two, be
fore they attempt to cross the Potomac.
We will go to Hagerstown again in
the morning to witness the grand
movement of so many men, which will
be an exciting scene.
After to-morrow this place will be
dull indeed. The people feel like fol
lowing after the army. You will hear
from us again to-morrow.
Yours, W. L.
P. S. Another Regiment has just ar
rived at-the Depot from the east.
lIAGERSTOIVN, Md., June 17, '6l
DEAR GLOBE :—YesterdaY was a
grand day here, and at Williamsport.
During the day several Regiments
passed through the river at Williams
port, some were neck deep, but the
ranks were never broken.
In the afternoon, the Ist, 2cl, 3d, and
24th Regiments were reviewed by Gov.
Hicks of Maryland, and general Pat
terson. Gov. Hicks is a very social
gentleman and as firm as Jack's Moun
tain.
Capt. McMullen, of the Rangers, and
the Ex-Sheriff of this county visited
_Harper's Ferry and reported here last
night that the Secessionists had left
that place. We shall go over the river
to-day.
We must be brief.
Yours,

From Washington
WASHINGTON, June 14.—The Gov
ernment finds itself seriously embar
rassed in the management of the pres
ent military campaign by the prema
ture publication of sufficient informa
tion to disclose its purposes to the
public, South as well as North. Por
tions of its plan for the movement of
the troops have thus been made known,
and enabled the rebels to frustrate the
successful execution of them.
In consequence of this, it is no lon
ger disposed to allow this to be done,
and yet it is unwilling to exclude the
Press from the advantages afforded by
the telegraph, and therefore is reluc
tant to absolutely prohibit the trans
mission of dispatches for publication.
In view of this state of affairs it is
suggested that the Editors of the lead
ing journals in Philadelphia, New York,
Boston and other cities, immediately
meet at Washington and come to some
satisfactory understanding, which will
relieve the Government from further
embarrassment and yet afford the
press all the facilities it can reasonably
desire under the eireuinstances.
Francis W. Rico, correspondent of
the newspaper press, has been appoint

mand of Col. Stone, of this District.
After the recent stories about in
competent civilians having important
commands given them, it is gratifying
to learn that-officers of thorough mili
tary education are offering their ser

are to be added to the regular army.

connoisaneo' of- the Hampshire.' and
Loudon• railroad was made' to-day,
extending two miles' boyoiid Viefina,
which is fifteen miles north of Alexan
dria. The train was under charge •of
Col. Powers, accompanied by the Ist
Conneeticut troops, under command of
Brigadier General Tyler. It IN* re
ported that . the fourth bridge , but
recently reconstructed was burned last
night; but all the bridges Were found
safe and the train returned.
When two miles this side of Vienna,
a man fired on the train from en ain
bush,wounding George Thisbe°, of the
Connecticut Light Guards. General
Tyler was standing by the side of the
wounded man on an open ear, and the
shot was evidently intended for him.
- The train ivas stopped, and the com
panies divided; and scoured the woods,
searched the neighboring farm-bouseS,
etc., making a circuit of a mile. TWO
men were arrested: Their names are
Walker and 31,611.1i115, and were found
in thei house of the latter. All the
evidence that could be obtained tended
towards criminatifig • Walker, who,
with other prisoners and a negro wit
ness, was brobght'io Alexandria.,
The train was Within three mileS'of
900 rebel troops; and six •miles froin
Fairfax Court House, where, it is un
derstood there are 2,500 troops, besides
recent arrivals. '
On• reaching -Arlington Mills :flip
train met with a party of cavalry and
infantry, who had set out to warning
the truth of the rumor That the Fede
-rat troops had been attacked and thb
bridges burnt, cutting off their retreat.
This was a current rumor. in Alexan
dria this afternoon, and it wag' only
set at rest by the arrival of 'the train,
after an absence of half a day.
A Philadelphian,: who had been
within a mill and a half of Fairfax
Court House, also met the train at
Arlington' Mills, bringing ihf9rination
that - troops Were arriving there frOM
Manasetts Jtinction. .116• stated that,
he was standing on a hill, near Fairfat,
and - heard drums heating, and saw a
number of tents, when he thought it
best to return.
Another report says three compa
nies arrived at Fairfax this mor,

In addition to - Walker and MeMills,
a third person,wus arrested to-day by
the troops on the train. His name
